On Thursday, the Health and Human Services committee of the South Dakota House killed a bill that would have protected the right of parents to refuse to consent to medical or psychological treatment for a child suffering from gender dysphoria if the treatment “would induce, confirm, or promote the child’s belief that the child’s sex or gender identity is different from the child’s sex presented at birth.” Proposed House Bill 1205 also provided that “no public authority or official of this state may take any adverse action against a parent for exercising this right.”

It is child abuse if a parent or doctor initiates any chemical or surgical changes based on the ephemeral whims of a child. For the state to force it to happen would be even worse, and any judge who orders it should be removed from the bench in a heartbeat.

In totalitarian societies the government owns the children. Parents are just breeders and their produce can be used any way the state deems best for the collective. What is best for the collective is any action that places man above Natural Law and Our Creator. Communists hate life, just like their master.

Well, lets look at recent history: First the left tells us we must abort our children even after birth occurs, i.e.: infanticide. Even the ancient Aztecs allowed children to grow up before sacrificing them. But sacrificing them at the alter of leftism takes precedence over life. Now, they tell us they can take our kids away from us unless we bow down to their almighty demands for gender fluidity.

From a personal standpoint, the trannies that I have met have had, with very few exceptions, disturbing and extreme personality and/or mental disorders. Admittedly there have been a few who seem perfectly adapted. Nevertheless, we have the abnormal now criminalizing the normal. Whether its infanticide or forced gender neutrality, it won´t stop here. Next: unless we allow our kids to have sex and smoke marijuana all before the age of 5, we will be considered deviants.

Judges who should be smart enough to complete law degrees can´t tell they´re being duped by insane people who deny the truth about who and what they are. They go alone with stuff that makes no darn sense rather than what has been truth and standard since the world began.

If a fool shows up to teach me something that doesn´t make sense, I reject the teaching. How is it that family services workers and so-called experts can´t do the same? Oh, they choose not to; they want to believe the lies that fit their agenda. Gotcha!

Even the best of our Evangelical and conservative Roman Catholic Churches have a dim view of God´s Law and are at least 50% secular humanist in their thinking. No parent trying to fight the state doing this to their child would ever expect any help from their church or pastor.

I´m split. On the one hand, it´s great that the Left is revealing itself to be so totalitarian, anti-nature and inhuman. On the other hand, it´s great that the Left is revealing itself to be so totalitarian, anti-nature and inhuman.

The only thing that should keep you from roaring in laughter as Nancy Pelosi freaks out trying to keep a lid on the freak show that is the Democratic caucus is the knowledge that the freshmen freakettes giving her fits would impose an ideology of tyranny and murder if given the chance. But you can still allow yourself a good giggle as you watch Nancy’s dreams of a Democrat majority die on the altar of anti-Semitism, taking away your health insurance, and banning cheeseburgers.

Ron Paul has long been a hero of mine. He has been a tireless advocate for free markets, free minds, and free people. This is why it pains me to write that his assessment of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Venezuela is dead wrong. (snip) Why is a leading libertarian voice supporting a Communist dictatorship supported by a small fraction of the population over a free market-oriented, libertarian-minded opposition that enjoys massive popular support? And why is he adding insult to injury by shrouding his arguments in language of legality? - Paul Pleads For Rule of Law In a Nation Without Laws - There is no rule of law in

Legendary "Jeopardy" host Alex Trebek announced Wednesday that he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Trebek shared the news on YouTube, telling his fans, "I have some news to share with all of you and it’s in keeping with my longtime policy of being open and transparent with our ´Jeopardy!´ fan base." "Now, just like 50,000 other people in the United States each year, this week I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Now normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this, and I’m going to keep working," he added. "And with the love and support

The best narrative art eschews didacticism in favor of subtlety and nuance and moral reflection. The Polish film Cold War, released last year and directed by Pawel Pawlikowski, is no exception. It tells the story, inspired by Pawlikowski´s parents, of Wiktor Warski (Tomasz Kot) and Zula Lichón (Joanna Kulig), whose amour fou burns against the backdrop of postwar Europe. Wiktor´s passion for Zula consumes him. It haunts him for years after he flees Poland, and drives him to return despite the certainty of imprisonment.(snip) The film is a subtle but devastating critique of the socialist phenomenon.

Chief Justice John Roberts is showing a new willingness to side with the U.S. Supreme Court’s liberal wing after the divisive confirmation fight over Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Roberts joined the liberals Wednesday in two rulings that left the conservatives in dissent. Most notably, he cast the deciding vote to order a new look at the mental competence of a death row inmate who says he can’t remember the crimes he committed. The votes add to an unmistakable pattern, offering fresh indications that Roberts is in no hurry to oversee a conservative legal revolution.

Californians brag that their state is the world´s fifth-largest economy. They talk as reverentially of Silicon Valley companies Apple, Facebook and Google as the ancient Greeks did of their Olympian gods. Hollywood and universities such as Caltech, Stanford and Berkeley are cited as permanent proof of the intellectual, aesthetic and technological dominance of West Coast culture. Californians also see their progressive, one-party state as a neo-socialist model for a nation moving hard to the left. But how long will they retain such confidence? California´s 40 million residents depend on less than 1 percent of the state´s

André Previn, a celebrated musical polymath, died Thursday morning; he was a composer of Oscar-winning film music, conductor, pianist and music director of major orchestras. His manager, Linda Petrikova, confirmed to NPR that he died at his home in Manhattan. Previn wrote a tune in the 1950s. In the vernacular of the day, he called it "Like Young." His Hollywood friend, the great lyricist Ira Gershwin, was critical. "Don´t you know it should be "As Young?" asked Gershwin. Previn loved that story — from his jazz side. Tim Page, a Pulitzer Prize-winning former music critic and professor of journalism and music at the

Up until now, most of the back and forth between Washington and Moscow over intermediate-range missile treaties and the development of new strategic weapons has sounded like little more than saber rattling. But recent developments are starting to make the situation seem a bit more dire. According to some military analysts, Russia’s next generation of cruise missiles would be nearly impossible to intercept and could reach their targets so rapidly when fired from submarines that there would be little or no time to respond.

I was a working journalist before I could legally drink. On Saturday nights in Durban, South Africa, when most kids in high school were partying with friends, my last job was to hand deliver first-edition copies of the Sunday newspaper where I worked to the police station, the fire station, the hospital and the morgue. It was a violent time in South Africa. The people had risen up against the injustice of Apartheid to fight for freedom and the region where I grew up was one of the bloodiest.

Last week a Portland police lieutenant named Jeff Niiya was accused of colluding with right-wing protest group Patriot Prayer after a string of his texts were released to the public. Lt. Niiya’s job is to coordinate with protest groups coming to the city and the texts show him doing just that, i.e. chatting with Patriot Prayer’s Joey Gibson about the group’s intentions and planned movements. As I noted last week, Lt. Niiya has previously been in close contact with a member of Antifa who became an outcast when other members of the group learned she’d be talking with police.

The Democrats’ Green New Socialism proposes blanketing the U.S. with solar panels and wind turbines so as to replace all reliable forms of power generation with unreliable, intermittent sources. Everyone knows that solar panels don’t produce electricity at night, but there is another problem: they don’t produce electricity when it snows, either. A friend took this photo and wrote: I was up in Ramsey [Minnesota] picking up my camper, and next door is this fantastic $30,000,000 brand-new solar installation.

Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox has spun off various television assets — including the Fox News Channel and Fox broadcast network — to form a new company that will be known simply as Fox Corp. The spinoff completed early Tuesday is part of a multi-pronged process that will culminate with the $71.3-billion sale of the rest of Murdoch’s entertainment company to Walt Disney Co. The company announced that it had finished the process of issuing shares in the new Fox Corp. to investors of 21st Century Fox.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on all advertisers to drop Fox News until the network fires hosts Jeanine Pirro and Tucker Carlson due to comments by both hosts that the civil rights group called “Islamophobic.” “Fox News must clearly state that Jeanine Pirro will not be allowed back on the air after her long history of Islamophobic hate rhetoric and the network must also take similar action against other Islamophobic hosts like Tucker Carlson,” CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a statement. “All existing advertisers should drop their ads on Fox News to ensure that

ATLANTA — A two-line proposed bill would require men to report "certain events" of a sexual nature to law enforcement. HB 604 would amend Chapter 1 of Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia so that "any male 55 years of age or older shall immediately report to the county sheriff or local law enforcement agency when such male releases sperm from his testicles."

Wednesday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Meghan McCain responded to President Donald Trump’s ongoing criticisms of late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). McCain said, “I think if I had told my dad seven months after you’re dead, you’re going to be dominating the news and all over Twitter, he would think it was hilarious that our president was so jealous of him that he was dominating the news cycle in death as well. Do not feel bad for me and my family. We are blessed.” “We are a family of privilege,” she continued. “Feel bad for people out there who are

A new report on 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke’s marriage to real estate heiress Amy Sanders O’Rourke reveals the former Texas congressman indulged in some bizarre cuisine following his failed U.S. Senate bid in Texas. O’Rourke, who in January launched a five-state road trip across the Southwest, found himself eating dirt told to possess “regenerative powers” during one stop in New Mexico, according to the Washington Post. The newspaper said he also brought some of the dirt back home to Texas for the family to eat, as well. The strange antidote is one of several unflattering details to have

Sen. Elizabeth Warren explained at a townhall meeting sponsored by CNN in Jackson, Miss., on Monday night how God picks some people to go to heaven and others to go to another place. She did this after she was asked by moderator Jake Tapper what role faith plays in her life. After saying that she was raised a Methodist and used to teach Sunday school, Warren said: “The story for me is Matthew 26, and I´m sure some of you, a lot of you know this story. You know, this is the one where the shepherd is dividing the world

RUSH: I also got an email during the break. “Rush, Rush, what do you think of this George Conway situation?” Folks, this is so unseemly to me that I don’t quite know what to think about this. So much of this is inexplicable.[Snip] CALLER: Yeah. I think George Conway is the one who’s got problems. George Conway’s the one who’s dealing with narcissism.

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts said she believes it is time for Mississippi to disavow its Confederate icons — namely on its state flag. "I would support removing Confederate celebrations from federal lands and putting them in museums where they belong," Warren said at a CNN townhall in Jackson, Mississippi, on Monday evening. Asked if she believes the state should adopt a new flag, Warren had a short answer. "Yes," she said to an applauding crowd. Mississippi´s flag, which features a confederate battle emblem, has been a source of controversy. The flag from 1894 has been accused of

OLATHE, Kan.—Soon after Jim Hildenbrand arrived in Avignon Villa Homes, a community for older adults in a Kansas City suburb, the homeowner association disputed the placement of his satellite dish. It cited him for parking cars in his driveway overnight and placing a St. Francis statue in a flower bed. He was later written up for a dead cat in a window well—which Mr. Hildenbrand suspects was planted by a neighborhood enemy. Things went downhill from there. After he installed a decorative, shin-high wall around a plant bed on the side of his house,

A federal judge ruled that the Interior Department violated federal law by failing to take into account the climate impact of its oil and gas leasing in the West. The decision late Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in the District of Columbia marks the first time the Trump administration has been held to account for the climate impact of its energy agenda, and it could have sweeping implications for the president’s plan to boost fossil fuel production across the country. Contreras concluded that Interior’s Bureau of Land Management “did not sufficiently consider climate change” when making decisions to auction

It appears it really will be another promise made and another promise kept by an American president who continues to confound his enemies and delight his tens of millions of supporters both in the United States and around the world.Via The Washington Examiner: The Defense Department has identified $12.8 billion in possible funding that it could use to fulfill President Trump’s call for a border wall. (Snip) said he wants to use $3.6 billion for border wall projects. The Pentagon’s list said it has found possible funding sources that are “in excess of the amount needed.”
